So we got him yesterday ! 
I don't have any new pics but he is skiddish from humans, but will also follow you around like a puppy ! Hes bi-polar. lol. Also hes mean to the wethers, not overly mean, but strict, but he also doesn't like Siella (alpine doe) ! ! ! So basically he loves Sass only, and Sass worships him. But she isn't in heat, otherwise she'd be bred by now. lol. I'm guessing Siella isn't either. Oh, and he BITES ! I'll be feeding him, say, grain, but he'll grab your hand with his lips and the other day he pulled off my glove ! Ugh, any tips?
Oh, and his registration papers say
'Number in birth Males _1_ Females_2_
So... that means hes a triplet, RIGHT??? Oh, and, I need to mail in the bill of sale, but it has a thing that it says 'Agas members ___ Non members __' What is that about?
He is a sweety, and I love him, but he has a mind of his own for sure !

I just HAD to, didn't I? Becuase she is living up to her name SUPER well !
I just saw Sass get bred, and she has white goo on her bum -.-
So, she DOES in fact have a silent heat, AND she doesn't get' tail flashy happy giddy' whatever when she sees a buck.
So just GREAT.
Ok, so if she took NOW, (7 months, a bit earlier then I would've liked but she is in good shape) when would she be due? And what kind of shots do I need to give her and when? (CDT, uh, any others?)
Just great
Oh, and she 'hunched', after breeding, this is a sign of it being succesful, right?
Great,
Juuuust great

Smack him in the nose. You could also spray him with a water bottle, in the face.
Yes, he was a triplet then.
You need to fill out all the info on the bill of sale and so does the previous owner. Is you are a member then you check no. You are not a member. btw the prices will be higher if you are not a member. Are you sure it is AGAS? Do you mean ADGA, NDGA, AGS?
She should be due in 150 days from the breeding date. She could kid anywhere from 145-155 days though. So just past mid March then.
She shouldn't need a shot until 30 days before her due date, and then you would give her a CDT shot. Be sure that she always has fresh, clean water.
Yes, that is a good sign. I would breed her again tomorrow if you can. She may go into another heat in 7-10 days and rebreed then too.

Having a buck in with does will bring them into heat. I'm surprised it was that quick though. I was just talking about breeding with my dad today because I had to ask him about when is the earliest we can get the buck we are borrowing from him here. I told him honestly I have no clue when my does go into heat, and he said the buck will actually bring them into heat. I'd watch her for sure though to see if this first breeding actually settled. Sometimes the first one doesn't settle and they will come back into heat the next month as well. Or maybe sooner. Go with what Straw Hat said on that point since I haven't bred my own goats yet.

Yes, a buck can bring them into heat in a second. lol When I first got Caleb and he was put in the other fence (not with he girls) Heidi whet into heat pretty much as soon as I put him out there. She was in heat the weeks before so she wasn't supposed to. So yes bringing a buck around throws them into heat and it can be very quick.

I didn't *want* her bred at 7 monthes, but I'm OK with it since she is in good condition, she has a bit of a belly (not like Chugiak tho, he is as wide as he is tall, LOL), and a good coat, etc. Starbuck (yay, I don't have to explain hes a buck, LOL) is being run with the does. I wasn't aware that a buck would bring a doe into heat, and I THOUGH/THINK that Sass was in heat like a week ago because she got VERY vocal, but today I see him mount her several times so .... You think its OK? Also Siella, the other doe, has NO interest in him and vice versa. Weird.Straw Hat Kikos said:
Sorry, its AGS, I guessed what it was. Whats the fee usually for non members? Yes he has filled it out (well his daughter) , and I put my name and everything but unsure what to check, and such. So I'll check 'Nonmember', but how much is it / hard /long to become a member? Could I become one before I send it in, or would I have to send it in then become a member? And could his kids with Sass be registired, or no?
Thanks.
Don't worry, Starbuck will be here all week ready to breed on a minutes notice, LOL.
Oh, and it was funny because I saw him like crane his neck with his tounge out at Sass, yes, its very interesting. LOL.
Marlo - Another thing to consider is that does, when living together for a period of time, will syncronise their heats, so when one is in heat most of them are I guess, and if you introduce a buck I'd guess they'd all go into heat at once.

7 months is not ideal but she should be fine. How long will you run him with them? Can all your does be bred?
If he is mounting other does and breeding them then they are in heat because they would not allow it if they weren't.
The one doe that has no interest, she will have interest here soon and he will breed her.
Thought so. I have never used the AGS so I'm not sure. You can look them up and they should have the prices somewhere. Becomeing a member is pretty easy but you will have to print the right stuff off from the site. You do pay to become a member too. Oh and you can fill out what you need to fill out to become a member and send it in with the bill of sale and transfer papers. If you are doing that then you can check yes to the member.
Depends. Is Sass registered and with who?

Well not sure, my mom wanted to run him with all the other goats since she though he'd be lonely when all the seperates him and everyone else is a fence but... So he'll be run with them a long time. Yes Siella can be bred, however she may be leaving soon. Its a friends goat however I don't think she minds if she gets bred...Straw Hat Kikos said:
Well its not happening any time soon it looks like, he brought Sass into heat immediatly but Siella saw him stick his tounge out and just walked away and he stood there with his tougne out bewildered
OK, I'll look at it.
Not sure don't know.
So...
No? lol.

I HATE MY FRIENDS GOATS ! I HATE THEM, I HATE THEM, I HATE THEM!
THEY HAVE broken EVERY single bin we have to keep goat / chicken feed. ALL we have is ONE good LID ! One has a HUGE hole in the side, THEY BROKE THE LID OF ONE OF THEM, AND MAKE A CRACK IN THE OTHER ! I HATE THE FACT THEY DESTROY EVERYTHING THEY COME IN CONTACT ! Not only that, But they EAT AND DRINK SO freakin' much (more of water because it freezes so fast I have to change practically every 2 hours ! {because I have school for 6 hours both MY goats and THEM have no water for 4 or less hours !! {}
I HATE THEM!
How do I tell her that? I want to just say
"Your goats have broeken both our bins. I want them GONE, get your pen done SOON ,you've said several time 'I'll pick them up by Tuesday", Ya, like 2 weeks ago, you've said that twice! Get them gone, soon, I'm tired of them!"
But its soo mean......
